Anyway, Brokeback Mountain should be remade... it needs another chance to win Best Picture.

Superman II. I would love to see the battle between Superman, Zod, Ursa, and Non done with today's FX technology. I envision the Battle between Neo and Mr. Smith from the third Matrix film as a "blueprint" of what it would/could look like.

There are good and bad musicals just like any other genre. I think "Chicago" proved that a terrific musical can be produced for today's audiences.

One of my favorite classic films is Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard." I heard rumor that the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical was being considered for the big screen. The principal actors would be Glenn Close, reprising her role as Norma Desmond and Ewan McGregor as writer, Joe Gillis. "Sunset Boulevard" is one of the best Webber spectacles. I hope this makes it to the screen with these excellent actors in the roles. How 'bout Anthony Hopkins or Albert Finney as Max, Desmond's discoverer, ex-husband and butler.

I was gonna make fun of your spelling error, but I remeber you defended mine, so again, I got nothing.

We all know the prequels are eventually going to be "remade" anyway. I'd like to see Jake Lloyd replaced with an actor, and a little less of Jar Jar's schtick in Ep1, More of Anikan and Padme falling in love, y'know, to make it beleivable, in Ep 2, and maybe they could reshoot some of those less adept Jedi at the end too. Ep 3 needs to have the shots of Vader killing Jedi in the temple. Otherwise, they're OK by me.

BUT there are these really cool comics I read on my lunch break one day that create a 'What If?' situation to each of the original movies, including 'what if Luke's torpedos didn't detenate?', 'what if Luke was killed by the Wampa?', and 'what if Leah's thermal detonator went off?. The later ends with Yoda fying the Death Star into Palpatine's tower and Darth Vader repenting then becoming a white knight. It sounds silly, but I really enjoyed it.

I think Paramount should destroy all existing copies of "The Godfather III" and remake the film with an entirely new screenplay. If they hurry up they can still get Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Robert Duvall and Francis Ford Coppola. Of course this isn't gonna happen but I wouldn't discount the chances for a Godfather IV at some desperate point.

I think most remakes should not be made. However I think a bad movie that "Could Of Been Great" should be remade. I love the book "Bonfire of the Vanities" I HATED THE MOVIE. The book would make a great mini series that only HBO could do right. The movie that starred Tom Hanks took so much out of the book and change the plot too much that a remake would not look anything like the orginal. What movie do you think should be remade?
